I truly feel that what's made such a difference to the experience I'm having now as a mum, is the mindset work. The inner work. The 15 years of learning & coaching clients about the mind and the voices that can come up if we're not aware of them. 

Knowing that I have the choice and ability to shift my mindset has made this experience so much more enjoyable. But it also comes in to be so important in other areas of life, like the changes I'm currently experiencing. 

In this episode I share some tangible steps you can try today to master your mind and tune into your intuitive voice.  

PS: I'll be offering The Creative Mama course one last time this year. If you want to get clear on your vision and finally get a handle on your self doubt and go into the new year feeling clear, confident and connected to your intuitive voice...join us in the upcoming November course. 

Thanks so much for listening ❤️

Being able to have the tools to harness your intuition, especially when it comes to making decisions has been fundamental for me since becoming a mum. But it's something I've put into practise for years as a creative and entrepreneur.

Being able to make decisions from the guidance of my intuition rather than from fear and people pleasing is a very important life skill and the practise of knowing the difference between the two has made so many things I've desired in my life, come to fruition.

In this episode I share how you can let go of fear and take action on what your intuition is guiding you to.

One of the MOST EFFECTIVE ways I connect to my intuition is through CREATIVE MEDITATION. It is such a simple and effective tool you can draw on today.
I share 5 EASY ways to bring creative meditation into your daily life.

In this episode I share 6 powerful lessons I've learnt since becoming a mama! 
My baby is 6 and a half months old (I know, I can't believe it either!) 

I speak about...
1. The power of being in shared experiences and learning from others, in this case being around other mums 

2. Mindset it everything - how I've used tools to let go of resentment, blame, fearful and anxious thoughts

3. Comparison - oof big one! How I've let go of comparing myself to other mums 

4. Patience - drawing on patience has been so important, especially around the changes in my mind and body

5. Communication - using my voice and communicating my needs, setting boundaries has gone to another level, I share how I've managed to do it from a calm and loving place

6. Power of the Intuition - how I've been able to harness the skills of listening to my own intuition and not go into meltdown mode from listening to ALL the other voices and opinions out there

Helloooo from the other side! It's surreal to be sharing my birth story with you and be on the other side of the experience with my now, 3 month old baby.  I'm so thankful for how my birth turned out. I truly believe it was a combination of the support team we created, the education & prep work we did and the many years of practising to surrender to a higher plan!

It was really important for me to hear positive birth stories while I was pregnant, so if you know someone who's pregnant, feel free to share this episode with them if they are wanting to hear an empowered and positive home birth experience.

I feel like the tools I was able to draw on and the mindset I had throughout pregnancy, labour and birth can be applied to so many things, not just birth. Creative projects, business and approaching daily life in a calm, empowered way.

Thanks for tuning in to this personal and exciting episode, the start of a new chapter and me integrating my 'parent' voice.

Here are some of the resources I mention in the episode:
MAMA Midwives
Emily Bohn - Holistic Health Midwife
Rhea Dempsey
Fiona Hallinan
Shelley McKenzie - Naturopath at Freedom Wellness
Addison - Postpartum Doula at Uplifted Collective

Thanks so much for listening ❤️

I'm going on maternity leave and I wanted to say a huge heartfelt thank you to everyone who has tuned in to The Creative Zone Podcast over the last year and a half.
I'm so proud of sharing weekly episodes with you and the conversations we've had around mental health and how to create healthier relationships with the voices in our heads through creative expression.

There are over 75 episodes for you to go back and listen to and I have some short courses available on my website to guide you through coming to peace with some of the voices that can hold us back.

I'm excited to come back in 2022 with new insights and integration of more parts of myself with becoming a mother.
Wishing you a meaningful and relaxing holiday season.
Take care and much love to you,
Tali

Thanks so much for listening ❤️

It’s with mixed feelings to share the final interview podcast episode for the year before I venture into the journey of becoming a mother. It feels profound to be sharing this particular episode with you, with a client and now friend, Karen Hollenbach. 

Karen is a self proclaimed corporate escapee and company director who’s learnt most of her lessons from the school of life. She is a passionate advocate for exploring how to live a simpler and more meaningful life in the digital age and I’m so thrilled to have her on today’s episode.

Karen has recently completed The Voices Of… the 12 week program, followed by the Relational Voices program and it was wonderful to chat about her incredible transformation she experienced from meeting and creatively expressing her inner voices. 

In this episode we chat about: 

• Navigating such a huge internal transition in her life  
• Her creative expression as child and school life
• The moment Karen realised she wanted to show up for herself and her children within her career
• Never having the intention to start a business, but having an intention to show up as a parent
• The lead up and journey to creating her own business and consciously creating what she has today
• Nurturing your inner child while nurturing your actual child
• Introducing play and fun into her life through The Voices Of program
• Inviting confrontational voices into her life through the program and how she can now sit with them comfortably
• What Karen was looking for before the program
• Her 1950’s fear voice
• The exploration of her Royalty Voice
• Karen’s journey with the Parent Voice

ABOUT KAREN:
I’m a corporate escapee and company director who’s learnt most of my lessons from the school of life. My formal qualifications include a Graduate Diploma Education, Bachelor of Business Marketing and a Diploma of Management.

A passionate advocate for exploring how to live a simpler and more meaningful life in the digital age, I enjoy the therapy of writing as a ritual to help navigate my roles as an educator, mother, wife, daughter, sister and entrepreneur.

As an individual with ambivert tendencies you’ll find me pottering in my garden, or reading a book, writing, spending time with my family or walking in nature with a kindred spirit.

This week on The Creative Zone Podcast I chat with Rachel Crethar,  an intuitive hypnotherapist and RTT therapist who  works with clients all over the world, helping them with all kinds of problems including anxiety, emotional eating disorders, removing money blocks, relationship issues and even helping them fall pregnant naturally after years of trying. 

I have been so interested in hypnotherapy for a long time and how your inner voices can be re-wired on a subconscious level. It’s so incredible as Rachel believes that if we can understand ourselves and peel back those layers of conditioning (that quite often aren't even ours to begin with), remove any old, out-dated beliefs that are holding us back, then we can have a richer experience and design a life that we truly love. After speaking with Rachel I felt so recharged and am really looking forward to experiencing Rachel’s hypnotherapy for myself.

In this episode, we chat about:

• Rachel’s creative expression as a child through performance and role playing while coming from a childhood with an emphasis on traditional academic success.
• How Rachel re-trained herself to see creativity as everything that pours out of us, rather then your typical creative avenues.
• Identifying the feeling of anxiety within childhood as an adult.
• How just a simple awareness of your beliefs can help shift your subconscious thoughts.
• Why it’s important to bring your beliefs to your conscious mind.
• How we can try to nurture our children today to not allow others' voices and opinions to be absorbed into their psyche. 
• A beautiful and intuitive moment with her son and nurturing him back from in utero conditioning.
• Guiding her clients through past life regression and hypnosis and being able to identify their true voice.
• Getting met with resistance from internal voices in hypnosis.
• How Rachel facilitates ‘future self work’ with clients and in her personal life.
• Visualisation during birth.
• How motherhood has shifted her relationship with her creativity and lifestyle.
• Hypnotherapy and fertility.
• Why it’s important to explore the origin of trauma.
• Rachel’s advice on navigating parenthood and keeping in touch with your true self.

Check out Rachel’s Future Self event coming up where she teaches more on how to envision your future self and embody your visions that come up for 2022.

This week on The Creative Zone podcast, I talk with the wonderful Chantel McAlister, a rural photography coach providing online education and coaching for photographers and hobbyists across the globe. 

Chantel and I had such a lovely conversation filled with raw honesty and lots of laughs. I especially loved this conversation as Chantel and I discussed the signs & synchronicities the universe brings you and strengthening the muscle within you to be able to answer back to internal and external voices. 

Keep an ear out for a double dose of Mum brain!

In this episode we chat about: 

• Growing up in a very creative family
• The journey of photography through childhood to now
• Chantel’s time working in a woodshed and how picking up a camera at that moment rekindled her love for photography
• Stepping out of your comfort zone and working alongside the voice that asks “What makes you think you’re qualified to do this?”
• Navigating the ups & down of running your own business 
• Creating a healthy relationship with work and creativity
• Being okay with your own style and remaining true to your own creativity
• Recognising projections of others
• Chantel’s creative process behind shooting and being guided, literally, by the light
